thank you. i don’t drink regular redbull much anymore because im trying to watch my health and my figure. but for the past year or so i’ve enjoyed sugar free when i indulge. i purchased a zero for the first time tonight and i too felt like the aftertaste of zero was more odd, but the initial was more smooth. i didn’t have either to compare it to and i wondered what other people thought and also why they don’t make their other flavors in diet versions instead! i appreciated your insight on it mainly being a marketing ploy, i agree
